He was the prototype for the “New Young moderate Black leader”.
I wonder how much of that was colored by his Newark Mayoral opponent Sharpe James’ in hindsight ridiculous attacks that he was a closet Republican.
In the end these internecine contests between the likes of James and Booker (and Obama and Bobby Rush) were just about slick young BS artists looking to take jobs from old codgers. The only real difference between them is that the younger generation, interested in winning high office, markets itself to Whites in a way that the older ones never did.
RE Booker:
Typical democrat drama queen. Probably uses Maxine Waters’ Tampax when he’s not “performing” in the Senate Drama Club.
